Scottish Labour urges SNP government to produce ‘real plan’ for climate targets
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE: SNP's Gillian Martin

SCOTTISH Labour has called on the SNP government to produce a “real plan” to deliver on climate targets to avoid further failure.

The party’s net zero spokesperson Sarah Boyak made the plea as Holyrood prepares to vote on stage three of the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill today.

The Bill will replace earlier targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75 per cent by 2030 after they were dropped by the then SNP-Green coalition in April, just weeks after independent experts at the statutory climate change committee slammed ministers’ inaction.
